Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS

As announced last month, Porsche unveiled the new 718 Cayman GT4 RS a few hours ago. It is the fastest and most powerful Porsche Cayman with 493 hp.

The GT4 RS has already shown its potential in the final testing phase when it set a lap time of seven minutes and 4.5 seconds on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Much of the credit for overall performance goes to weight reduction (22 pounds less than the GT4), improved adjustable suspension, and optimized adaptive aerodynamics. All of this makes the grip of the GT4 RS 25 percent better than the Cayman GT4. For the first time, the Cayman is equipped with central locking rims.

It is equipped with an engine from the Porsche 911 GT3, with a slightly lower number of horsepower. That shouldn’t worry Cayman fans because the 4.0-liter flat six engine with 493 hp (368 kW) and 331 lb-ft (449 Nm) of torque still has 80 hp more than the Cayman GT4. With a weight of 3,227-pound (1,464-kilogram) it reaches 62 mph in 3.4 seconds with a top speed of 196 mph (316 km / h). Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a seven-speed automatic transmission with two clutches (PDK).

It is expected to hit the market in early 2022 with a starting price of $ 141,700.

Porsche has also introduced the racing Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport, which will delight many private teams around the world.

Alpine A110 Limited Edition

The engineering company Ravange has made a modern interpretation of the legendary Alpine Rally A110, which gained its fame in the early 1970s. The car is based on the current Coupé Alpine A110 Pure.

The expanded and modified body is painted with colors modeled on one of the examples of the French fighter aircraft Mirage 2000C. Behind the name Ravage lies a duo of anonymous enthusiasts who normally hold the positions of heads of design departments in two large car companies, but at the urging of a third enthusiast, created the Alpine A110 Limited Edition.

The car is equipped with yellow lights, exposed titanium exhaust system (created by a former employee of Honda’s HRC team), wider fenders and 18-inch alloy wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 225 / R18 (front) and 265 / R18 (rear) tires, like the ones that adorned the original Rally Alpine.

The Alpine A110 is powered by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder turbo engine with 252 hp (185 kW) and 236 lb-ft (320 Nm). Also, customers will be able to count on a more powerful version with about 320 hp (235 kW) and 258 lb-ft (350 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

The price of the Alpine A110 Limited Edition is € 120,000.

Ferrari Roma upgraded by Novitec

The Ferrari Roma is generally considered a beautifully designed car, and Novitec has decided to upgrade this model. In order to fulfill the wishes of owners who want to further improve the design of their car and give it more power, Novitec has prepared a special equipment kit.

The Novitec equipment kit brings carbon parts such as a new front grille, front spoiler, new sills and new side mirror housings. The rear has been enhanced with a new lip spoiler on the boot lid, as well as a diffuser insert and a vertical carbon fin, and 21-inch and 22-inch Vossen rims.

The Ferrari Rome is also equipped with sport springs, and thanks to the adjustable suspension, the car is closer to the ground by 35 mm. However, Novitec has also installed a front lift system so that the body can be raised on the front axle by 40 mm when needed.

Ferrari Roma is powered by a 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 704 hp (518 kW) and 650 lb-ft (882 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. It reaches 62 mph in 3.2 seconds with a top speed of 202 mph (325 km / h).

Novitec did not say how much it costs to improve the performance of Ferrari Roma.
